Pattern Description:

No serger required!

Who doesn't love a perfect T-shirt pattern that can take your tween girl through all seasons? With long- and short-sleeve options and a choice of adding double ruffles, this T-shirt can showcase your most beautiful jersey fabrics, or your favorite applique patterns!

Are you anxious about sewing with knits? Have no worries! Included in this pattern is a 10-page, fully illustrated section of how-tos and tips, so you can sew knits like a pro!

This is a closer-fitting tee, so please see measurement charts in the photo section before beginning. :)

Sizing / Finished Measurements:

See chart in the photo section for measurements

Materials:

Fabric: 58"-60"- (1.5m) wide jersey with at least 25% stretch (I demonstrate how to measure stretch percentage in the tutorial section). For the double-ruffle tee, use a sturdier jersey knit or an interlock, so that the weight of the ruffles won't stretch the tee too much.

Size 6: 5/8 yd (.57 m)

Size 7: 2/3 yd (.62 m)

Size 8: 2/3 yd (.62 m)

Size 10: 3/4 yd (.7 m)

Size 12: 7/8 yd (.8 m)

Additional fabric for ruffles: 2/3 yard (.62 m) for both ruffles, (or 1/3 yard (.3 m) of two different colors)
